What an honor to testify with Dr. Liz Rogers before the Kentucky Interim Joint Committee on Licensing and Occupations at the Kentucky State Capitol about the importance of modernizing the Kentucky Audiology Practice Act! https://vimeo.com/1139010310

ADA is proud to support the Kentucky Academy of Audiology (KAA) in this important quest to ensure that state laws align with the education, training, and qualifications of audiologists and reflect the important role that they play in the prevention, evaluation, diagnosis, management, and treatment of hearing and balance conditions. Thanks also to KAA executive director, Emily Childers and KAA Board members Dr. Elizabeth Medlock, Dr. Tiffany Brewer, and Dr. Stacy Garrard for all of your hard work and support! Can't wait to see what happens next!

ADA

Background The Academy of Doctors of Audiology (ADA) was founded by nine practitioners in 1977, as the Academy of Dispensing Audiologists, to foster and support the professional dispensing of hearing aids by qualified audiologists in rehabilitative practices. Later, in 1988, ADA developed the concept of the Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.) degree and provided much of the energy behind the movement for the transition of audiology to a doctoring healthcare profession. This goal, as well, has been largely met, as the Au.D. is now the minimum degree for audiology practice offered by educational institutions in the United States. In recognition of these important accomplishments, ADA Fellow members voted for an organizational name change to the Academy of Doctors of Audiology in 2006.

Today, ADA offers programming and support to those audiologists and students who are or who desire to be autonomous practitioners in whatever setting they choose to practice. In particular, ADA's mission emphasizes practice ownership. ADA is focused on helping audiologists succeed in all aspects of practice, with a particular emphasis on the business of audiology.

Audiology Practices, ADA's quarterly magazine, features articles that focus on issues confronting audiologists in autonomous practice. And, true to its mission, ADA continues to advocate for audiologists owning their profession through practice ownership, by offering mentoring assistance to ADA members, potential members and audiology students.
